When should I start to worry? I need help!

Question

I got off BC June 12th after being on it for 8 years. I had a "withdra" period June 16-20th. My period is 8 days late today but all of the 8 pregnancy tests I've taken are negative. I know it's normal to go without a period after discontinuing BC but when should I start to worry? I haven't had a period in over a month.

Answer

That's normal. I went from 28 day cycles every month while on bc and now mine are all over the place. My last one was 34 days. It will come just later than you think probably.

Answer

I quit BC in April and was regular in May, 7 days late last month, and am now 14 days late this month. My doctor said it was probably my body readjusting to being off the pill. I also took two HPTs, both negative.

Answer

Doctors usually agree that it takes up to 6 months for your cycle to regulate after stopping birth control. So I'd say wait and give it some time. If it still isn't regular after 6 months call your doctor.
